Many lanterns are also multi-colored, allowing for a combination of aspirations.
This tour offers a Shifen Lantern Release experience as a distinct activity during a summer-limited period. It is separate from the major annual Taiwan Sky Lantern Festival, which is a specific, larger-scale event held once a year, typically around the Lantern Festival in February or March. This tour provides an intimate opportunity to experience the tradition of sky lantern release in Shifen during the summer.
The Shifen Lantern Release experience on this tour is scheduled from approximately 18:10 to 19:10. This timing is considered ideal as it allows participants to release their lanterns at dusk, witnessing the beautiful sight of lanterns ascending against the evening sky. This period offers excellent photo opportunities and a memorable atmosphere as the sky transitions from twilight to night.
This is a bus tour that includes comprehensive transportation from Taipei to the Fulong Sand Art Festival. Guests will be picked up at the Caesar Park Taipei Hotel at 14:00.

During the Shifen Lantern Release experience, you will have the opportunity to write your wishes, blessings, or goals onto a traditional sky lantern. Once your wishes are inscribed, you'll release the lantern into the sky, symbolizing sending your hopes upwards. This activity is a cherished Taiwanese tradition, offering a unique cultural and reflective experience.
At the Fulong Sand Art Festival, you can expect to witness impressive and powerful sand art sculptures. This summer-limited event showcases Taiwan's artistic talent, transforming sand into intricate masterpieces. Visitors can wander through the exhibition, admire the detailed artistry, and capture unique photographs of these temporary yet magnificent creations that embody the spirit of Taiwanese art and prayer.
At the end of the tour, around 20:00 to 20:30, guests have two convenient drop-off options. You can choose to be dropped off at the Raohe Street Tourist Night Market, which is excellent for experiencing local food and culture and is close to MRT Songshan Station.
